Ronnie Fieg’s revisitation of the New Balance 2011 honors New York’s iconic destinations.
Introduced earlier this year for Kith’s fifteenth anniversary, the 2011 is an original silhouette designed by Ronnie Fieg and New Balance. Its intricate multi-panel construction is paired with ABZORB tooling from the original New Balance 2002. The name references both the year Kith was founded and the beginning of the brand’s longstanding partnership with New Balance.
The Park colorway evolves the Ronnie Fieg for New Balance 530 released in 2014. Key design elements are reimagined on the 2011, including the quilted vamp and collar, along with a predominantly maroon palette accented with atomic yellow and off-white. The upper is crafted from premium pigskin suede with microperforated nubuck panels.
Inspired by New York’s Botanical Gardens, the second colorway is a fresh rendition of the 2011. The Garden colorway combines light grey with amazon green, lilac, atomic yellow, and fuchsia accents. A micro-perforated pigskin suede vamp is complemented by solid suede overlays and leather inserts.
Finally, the third colorway celebrates the institution that is Madison Square Garden. Coming off the heels of the Knicks’ historic NBA Finals win, the Banner colorway pairs princess blue with silver and orange accents. The upper combines a mesh vamp with pigskin suede overlays.
All three styles carry asymmetrical Kith and New Balance co-branding on the heel pills and arrive in custom packaging illustrated with a New York City map and its iconic monuments. Matching artwork appears on the custom sockliners, and each pair includes two additional lace options.
